FRONTLINE traces John O'Neill's growing awareness of the threat posed by the emerging Al Qaeda terrorist network. His pursuit of bin Laden and Al Qaeda helped yield much of the information the United States needed about pending attacks. Working as director of security at the World Trade Center he died when the buildings collapsed.

John O'Neil might have stopped the attacks if it were not for(1) acting FBI Director Tom Pickard who for jealousy and incompetence (I believe) sabotaged and torpedoed O'Neils career and (2)Ambassador of Yemen Barbara Bobine preventing O'neil from returning to Yemen to investigate the USS COLE attack by not issuing him the required visa.I believe these 2 people have the blood of over 2700 Americans on their hands.When nobody else investigates important tragedies like 9/11, katrina, the japanese sunami/ nuclear meltdown etc...I fear that the american public is blind and deaf.Thank you Frontline for an amazing program

A stunning indictment of the FBI,and the State Department bureaucracy that, apparently, substantially, contributed to the 9/11 holocost. Should be required viewing for every High School and University graduate, as a study of the tragedy of human folly and narcissism.

The story is gripping, all the more so because you couldn'twrite fiction like this. Points up the dysfunctional fueding,jealousies and lays bare how vulnerable the system is to narcissistic powerful people that have to have the last word.Unfortunately, they took the nation along with them into thebiggest terrorist act on American soil.
